Taking it upon themselves to investigate while enjoying the sights, the party inevitably catches wind of a situation they never would have expected...
Having successfully averted the airship attack, Satou and company arrive safely in the royal capital. There, they are reunited with Nana’s “sisters”-Numbers 1 through 8-and give them the gift of a lifetime. But as is tradition with every trip to the capital, Satou must rub elbows with the aristocracy before he can enjoy his sightseeing. He even receives a surprise visit or two, including a summons from Sir Juleburg of the Eight Swordsman of Shiga! Because no leisurely trip would be complete without a friendly duel…

A DEMON IN THE DUNES With their rigorous training session behind them, Satou’s party is finally prepared to take on the tougher enemies of the Celivera Labyrinth.

This group is refreshed and ready for battle! Unfortunately, the opponent who finds them turns out to be someone nobody saw coming…
WITH FRIENDS LIKE THESE...With the demon threat neutralized, relative peace has returned to Labyrinth City, allowing the residents to shift their focus back to the labyrinth itself. Between the mysterious chain rampages and the untimely appearances of several areamasters, though, the deeper levels prove more of a challenge than anyone bargained for! Looks like it's time for Satou and the others to head back to Bolenan Forest for some specialized training with the elves!
Though Satou’s stay in Labyrinth City got off to a rocky start, he’s determined to put Celivera on the road to redemption! Acts of charity, such as founding an orphanage and putting the Plunderer King behind bars, are no big deal for him. But despite his best efforts, mysterious drugs continue to circulate. Incidentally, the noble in green, Sir Poputema, has been acting rather suspicious lately. Could he be linked to the spike in demonic activity…?

Meanwhile, high overhead, a ferocious new friend prepares to make its debut...
Trouble on the high seas! Having reached the end of their several-month stay in Bolenan Forest, Satou and the others decide to earn their sea legs as they resume their journey to Labyrinth City aboard their very own flying ship. But it wouldn't be a true adventure if there was smooth sailing the entire way! Following a run-in with the Skeleton King and his ghostly pirate crew, Satou finds a girl washed up on a nearby beach-and as luck would have it, she's anything but ordinary. In addition to being "half-ghost," the cryptic laments of the Skeleton King all seem to suggest that she's the key to reviving the world-ending superweapon of an ancient civilization... Was a relaxing ocean voyage too much to ask for?!
After their journey down the river, Satou and crew finally arrive at the old capital just in time for the martial arts tournament, along with some fireworks, a ball at the castle, and sightseeing in the Ougoch Duchy. But the followers of the demon lord are plotting in the shadows...
What's a journey without a few bumps in the road? All Satou wants is a leisurely vacation from the real world, but this time, his travels lead his party into the famously dangerous Muno Barony. Satou may be level 310, but even he has his hands full with giants, four-headed monsters, and haunted fortresses! He still finds time to help out the locals along the way, though, and when one of those people in need is Baron Muno's beautiful daughter, he may be the only one who can stop a terrible conspiracy...
After rescuing Muno Barony from disaster, Satou and crew head for dwarf territory and rescue an Oracle priestess from the demons! But for some reason, the attacks just keep coming...
Living in a gamelike fantasy world, Satou Suzuki is in no hurry to get back to his "death march" at home. He's content to take in the sights of Seiryuu City, go to a play with his friend Zena, and take care of the five girls in his party. After he discovers one of them was summoned from Japan like him, though, he prepares for a journey to learn more--until another friend is kidnapped by an evil sorcerer!

Suzuki is a programmer in the midst of a death march-crunch time, when coders live on caffeine and pull twenty-hour days. He just needs a little nap...but then he has a dream. A dream where he's in another world, with RPG powers right out of his game. A dream where he calls down a great disaster. A dream that, suspiciously, just won't end...
